I remember being in devon and an artic timber lorry reversed into us on narrow road trying to let another artic through. It went to dispute and the insurance basicly said he was to blame as there was big traffic jam behind us anyway(besides we had clear view of both his mirrors so no excues)
It was a rental Corsa and did about £1500 damage but was still driveable fortunatly
Funnily enough about 15 years ago I was delivering around Lincolnshire, I stopped on this quite back road in a town, looking for a company, no traffic at all around, parked at the kerb, found the company was back about 20 yds behind me, so I got in, (nothing behind me then), four ways on looked behind me (in mirrors), all clear, started reversing, the next thing was a beep followed by a slight bang. I stopped got out walked round the back of the motor, there was this little car with my back chassis member right up the bonnet and touching the window pillars
It seeems she had pulled right up behind me, slightly off the kerb, right in the mirror blind spot, looking for something, looked up saw the 4 ways and froze, the beep was her after watching the tail of the truck creeping up her bonnet, and the bang was the cross member hitting the windscreen pillars :oops:
One thing was, she could get my number, the plate was about 12" from her head, plus she had a nice set of go faster stripes up the bonnet
